"Excellent. Let's get some torches and rations for Reeks and Brooner and head out to the farmhouse and try to follow the trail."

Subject: Re: Eberron One 8th November 2010, 2:15 pm

[ooc] I could buy one or the other of them a shield if you think that's a good idea.

I guess it would partly depend on what Mike says is available for purchase at the town's stores...

If it's something that could be construed as hardware, farming supplies or some kind of non-military equipment, then it could be here. I'll roll for shields though, that's possible.

The member 'DM' has done the following action : Roll dice

Yep, the local blacksmith has 3 he was going to use for scrap metal. They're not pretty, but they're perfectly functional. He'll sell them for half the price listed in the LL manual.

Just thought of this... if they carry shields, then they can't carry torches. I think one of their important roles is going to be carrying torches when we need it.

Subject: Re: Eberron One 8th November 2010, 5:27 pm

ooc - Let's get one shield. Have one guy carrying a torch and a sword, the other sword and shield watching the back of the party.

As Mike pointed out in the Table Chatter... could just strap a shield to the back when not in use. So if we're in an environment where they don't need to carry torches, they could still carry shields.

Of course, I say all this... but still don't even have the 5 Gp to buy one shield, myself. So it would be whatever the people with the money (Chaos, Cole, and Llama) want to do.

Jaral looks over the scrap metal shields. "You want 10 GP for this scrap? Tell ya what: I'll give you 4 GP, and will even let you buy them back for 2 GP when we're done. Like renting them to us for a couple of days, 2 GP. Whaddya say?"

He thinks about it a moment.. "Alright, you've a deal."
He gives you two shields for 4 gold.

Caby says, "We'll want to get some torches, too, and then we should get going back to the Zeeg's farmhouse."

Ducats chips in 2 GP.

There is a general dry goods store where you can buy some torches for the standard price. Reeks suggests that Othmar, the innkeeper, might have old lard and rags to make torches, but that it would take time.

Subject: Re: Eberron One 8th November 2010, 11:37 pm

Ducats owns a lantern, incidentally.

Subject: Re: Eberron One 8th November 2010, 11:57 pm

Oh, hey, that's something. Why don't we just get like five more flasks of oil and call it a day, then.

Someone buy the oil and we'll get back on track.

OK.

What's our plan of approach?

Caby replies, "If we have enough daylight left, we should head back out to the Zeeg farm and try to track those footprints back to the source. If it is the entrance to the Claw Pit in the old tree Karl was telling us about, then that's fine. But if it leads us to another entrance, then that's more information than what we had before and it might come in handy."

Caby shoulders her pack, checks her gear real quick, and starts off to the Zeeg farm with the rest of the party in tow.

Subject: Re: Eberron One 9th November 2010, 1:00 am

As you're buying your oil, the shopkeeper says "they say old man Zeeg used to have a magic axe out at his place. You want to watch out for that."

Subject: Re: Eberron One 9th November 2010, 1:24 am

After a brief discussion with the shopkeeper Jaral steps into a back room. Some time later he reappears, outfitted in splint mail and a helmet, with a short sword strapped at his side. It is hard to ignore the fact that all of the equipment is brand new - never been used. Jaral can't help but feel self-conscious as he slings his pack and follows Caby toward the Zeeg farm.

"Wonder if someone's already found that axe," he mumbles.

Subject: Re: Eberron One 9th November 2010, 2:20 am

You make your way back northwest out of town, stopping by the homes of Reeks and Brooner to get their swords. You arrive back at the Zeeg farm around 5pm, at least a couple of hours before sunset.

"Hmmm," Caby ponders quietly. "If there really is a magical axe, it might come in handy. Maybe we should take the time to look for it? We could do a quick search of the house, checking for loose floorboards in the bedrooms, that sort of thing. One wouldn't think he would have left it out in the open, but..."

Caby quickly checks the outbuilding where they found the shovel to see if it also contains an axe.

"If that takes us too long into the afternoon, then maybe we could stake out the house tonight, watching from a distance to see if anything returns. If nothing happens, then we could follow the trail first thing in the morning."

"What do the rest of you think?"

For some reason, I have this innate fear of taking any of my characters into a deep, dank dungeon I know to have undead in it in the middle of the night. Even though logic tells me it will be dark down there no matter what time of the day it is, I still hate to do it.

Is that just me?

While it may be dark during the daytime they may not necessarily have a 24 hour active time?

Subject: Re: Eberron One 9th November 2010, 11:37 am

"Good idea, Caby. Let's check the house for this axe. Then I can see what's in there with my own eyes, too."

Jaral approaches the house carefully, listening for movement as he nears.

ooc - The Zeeg family has not been seen for two weeks. Tracks come and go from the house as if...something....from the north has visited multiple times in the recent past. Does it look like the most recent 'meal' took place yesterday or last week?
